Looking for a kind/brand of drink

F_Clowder · April 2018

I had a hankering for a cocoa drink, so I got myself a bottle of Malibu. Haven't touched the thing for a very long time, probably over 25 years by now.

Anyways, I thought Malibu was a thick, white liquid but this thing is like water and yes, it's the right flavor.

Did they change it from "thick, white" and then when? Or am I thinking of a different brand of the same drink, and if so, then what's the brand?

After years and years of health standard checking they are no longer allowed to put jiz in it...

but if you're giving it as a present to someone that you don't like, then you are more than welcome to add some.

Maybe you're thinking of Baileys bristol cream or whatever it's called.

I've never been a massive fan of it and my memories from about 1990 was that it was a runny liquid, not thick at all. Like Mat, I would think Baileys or similar (can't stand that stuff either).

I used to like an occasional Baileys with Ice until i found out it was a 'girlie' drink. I never touched it again :))

Is it that Amarula stuff with the elephant on the front?

Yes you're right, when it first came out Malibu was quite thick, I suppose it got watered down to reduce manufacturing costs
Mind you its easy to fake with a can of coconut cream and some white rum

Malibu was all the young girlies would drink to get off their heads without the taste of alcohol. and the smell of the busses on a Monday morning after all of the sick was cleaned up. Put me right off the smell of that stuff.

I remember Malibu being like it is now. Quite like the stuff, although I can only have a couple before it gets a bit too sickly for me. Same goes for Southern Comfort.

I like Southern Comfort, it's nice with cola, pepsi or lemonade.

mik3d3nch · April 2018

I also like Southern Comfort and I wouldn't have described it as 'too sickly'.

Haven't had one of those split bottles of Sheridans in a while. That's quite nice.

I quite like Malibu...but if it's like everything else food and drink these days...it will have gone cheap and nasty. Have a Tia Maria ..that's a bit cocao or coffee.

If Malibu was ever thick, it was a very long time ago. I don;t think I've touched the stuff since the mid 80s, but it looked much the same as vodka then.

mik3d3nch · May 2018

I'm quite happy to concede that a drunken recollection from 50 years ago is probably mistaken. So perhaps the 'thin' Malibu is how its always been. I only ever drank the stuff once and must have been blitzed to even try it since I'm not and never have been a regular liquor drinker.

Maybe you're getting it confused with an 80's cocktail that contained it - I'm guessing it was quite popular in cocktails, and there's no end of creamy white 80's liquids they could have added it to, the 80's was a decade of girly drinks after all.... White Russians, Black Russians, Advocat, Baileys, Babycham... some of us wouldn't be here if not for these :D

I used to drink Babycham also Pink Lady when I was 6
